I wouldn't presume to speak for mak ...but I think his point was that, as much as you love Keyes ... the American public doesn't.
You didn't offend me at all. Didn't mean for it to come across that way - sorry about that.
The liberal media discounted Keyes - just like they did Scott & West - because he isn't a liberal, and doesn't hang with the liberals. That isn't an accusation of racism (which PS I detest....it seems that everyone is a racist these days....and it's getting tiresome).
I agree 100% with your Bundy assessment. He's not too bright, but then again, he's nothing but a private citizen, so he can be as dumb as he wants.
Welcome to the board, BTW.
That doesn't answer my question to mak, which made no sense with my post he quoted.
It doesn't answer my question to mak, Buck. I have no idea what the nomination thing was about. I never suggested that Keyes was nominated so I have no idea why his electoral history is relevant.
Well, Buck, if that was mak's point, then he wasted in on me. That's a childish point that has no point.
So I'm supposed to subscribe to groupthink, and not think someone is a good man because others did want him to be President (which PS, still has nothing to do with my post)?
You subscribe to groupthink. I don't.
Actually I was just waiting for you to blame the liberals for who the Repubs nominate.
Nope, just waiting for you to say it was the libs fault. It didnt take long.
Of course you were. The difference between us, apparently, is you're like a spider waiting to jump on a fly and hoping to see things that aren't there to score partisan points. I'm not.
Liars are ugly people. If you want to lie go ahead and do it about someone else. Don't put words in my mouth that I never thought, let alone said.
Your true colors, which have been showing a lot lately, aren't attractive.

As far as I know I have never tried to pretend I think something I dont. Why would you say that?

Donald Sterling???
But it is the person that is responsible for their own future right? I mean that's what you on the right think.
Actually in the number of threads on this, there ARE people that have been defending his actions. They claim since the BLMs reason for the grazing fee is bull****, he has every right to do what he did. May not be a majority of people, but they are there and have posted in the threads for support of his actions.
Ah, so it is the fault of the government. Not his fault for not paying to use land that he didn't own. Yep, there's that "personal responsibility." A person is responsible for their own actions unless they are conservative - then it's the fault of the government or the liberal media (possibly both).
He was getting something for nothing from the government. When a single mom in a big city does that it's called "welfare." .
You claimed that the media doesn't "go gaga" over black conservatives like Keyes because they dislike black men who "don't know their place," implying a form of racism on the part of the left. I wondered why the left is being accused of this when the alternative explanation is simply that they disagree with his politics. They don't like Keyes for the same reasons they don't like Gingrich or Huckabee. Why does his race even come into it?
Alleged. People seem to have him convicted, not that I even like or dislike the man, but so far, nobody has proven it was even his voice making those comments. Should we convict a person because some obscure rag like TMZ makes attempts to drag celebrity names through the mud?
This thread topic has gone the way of a rail siding.
"Democratic supporters of Townsend threw Oreo cookies at Michael Steele, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. Steele is African-American; to label an African-American an “Oreo” is to say that he, like an Oreo cookie, is black on the outside and white on the inside. It is considered a significant racial slur."
Michael Steele
Why indeed.

Michael Steele
Why indeed.
"It didn't happen here," said Vander Harris, operations manager of the Morgan fine arts center. "I was in on the cleanup, and we found no cookies or anything else abnormal."
"They fell on the floor; two rolled up next to my shoe," Steele said. "I remember turning to someone and saying, `Anyone got a glass of milk?'"
Steele weighs in on the Oreo incident - Baltimore Sun
From your own source: "Steele will tell Segraves that he was never struck by any thrown cookies. “I’ve never claimed that I was hit, no. The one or two that I saw at my feet were there. I just happened to look down and see them,” he will say. By November 15, the Associated Press will report that Ehrlich says “he did not personally see cookies thrown at Steele because he was on stage,” and “said he doesn’t know who might have thrown them.”"
If you want to argue my original assertion, find me an example with some substance to it. I'm sure there are a few out there.
You should probably read the rest of that link.....
So, the 'victim' of the incident says it happened, but since the liberal running the hall where they were speaking on a liberal campus, says it didn't so not only do we need corroboration, but the perps as well to admit that they threw them....If it were a black liberal that the cookies were thrown at, during a speech at a conservative campus like oh, say, Liberty University, then all we would need is an allegation....Nice how your world works....
Kind of like Cleaver saying someone spit at him during the march to jam O-care down our throats, when no one out of the thousands of people with cell camera's that were there caught it....:roll:
Keep up the double standards....We don't enough here that do that....
I don't understand. I quoted Steele himself, twice, saying that no one threw cookies at him. He looked down and saw them. Your own source says as much. Where are you getting other information that trumps Steele's own description of what happened?
And please don't tell me how I would respond to the scenario you proposed. I'll happily admit that both sides exhibit bad behavior. I acknowledge it when it happens, though none of it reflects my own views or actions. But I expect those claims to be backed by verifiable facts, which you have so far not presented.
Oh, so someone dropped their oreo's on stage left eh? That it?
If you are someone that actually acknowledges bad behavior on your own side, then I will be man enough to applaud that when I see it...I'll keep an eye open for that one...
Sure it is, but how can they be blamed for taking the easy way out if it's offered?
Because that's what PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY is. If they take the easy way out it is THEM to blame.
